The paucity of sub surface water resources in Bhopal has led to tapping the underground water resources viz., tube wells and hand pumps. On account of the fast development of the human population and industrialization even the underground water resources are affected to a large extent. Keeping in view the welfare of human population dependent mostly on underground water resources an attempt has been made to evaluate their potable status.
It has been found that most of the underground water resources are near alkaline in nature. However, some of the under ground water resources recorded very high conductivity and magnesium values.
On comparing the present values with that of the various standards, the water collected from some of the tube wells is comparatively much better in comparison to the water collected from hand pumps.
